Martinez Ferrada defeated Luc Rabouin — Plante's successor as the head of the Projet Montréal party — on her way to a convincing victory in Sunday's mayoral race.

Plante says she wanted to make a public gesture of support for the incoming team at a time of growing polarization in politics.

The outgoing mayor said the two discussed major housing projects, a subway line extension and the fight against homelessness. 

Martinez Ferrada thanked Plante for breaking a glass ceiling when she was elected as the city's first female mayor eight years ago.
